Two Great New Models Are On The Horizon For Norsgard
February 2, 2013 by brennon
I have a bit of a soft spot for Norsgard. The models have looked especially good of late and its shaping up to be a rather cool looking game. So, when I saw these two new models below they had to get a mention...
Above you have an as yet unknown Warrior Woman (most likely the next target of a naming contest!) and also Varkof with a fairly sizeable hammer that looks like it crush even the best armour. While I do like a good hammer the Warrior Woman is looking particularly awesome and would be a great role-playing figure.
The artwork too continues to be stunning for this game. At the moment it has an interesting blend of anime and general fantasy and while it could be jarring it seems to pull it off quite well. Maybe the statistics on the Warrior Womans card could help you think of a name for her?
Leave some suggestions below!

Only needs a oversized weapon for cpauls1 to rail at and we have a three in one pet hate model! lol
Not at all keen, the pose is just so stiff and looks awkward.
Not their best sculpt by a long chalk.
Varkof looks better but…
Unnecessary use of putting one foot on random small stone and risking a sprained ankle syndrome alert!
Please sculptors.DON’T DO THAT. It looks stupid.
I agree about the “foot on pebble” syndrome. I slipped like that once or twice.
Artists tend to use completely unnatural pose (in any artform) so that everything looks pretty and, paradoxically, “natural”…
Just look at the traditional hollywood premiere pose : “lady on red carpet looking over her shoulder with arm bent, back stretched backwards enough to utterly destroy it, coyly yet knowingly glancing at the camera”…
I challenge anyone to tell me in which casual circumstance this supposedly casual pose ever was used !
Meh.
Ah come on fellas . It says she’s a commander. She’s using the old stood on a bucket inspiring speach pose. You may take our freedom but you’ll never make me do the washing!
That aside why not use her as a female galwegian
Jinks! She’s a bully! That was Oor Wullie’s bucket, help ma Boab!
The second is the better of the two. I almost passed this because of the thumbnail looked odd. Who holds a two handed great sword in one hand over their own head? That commander will have a short life. They could have just done Heman pose and it be fine. The bucket looks a bit odd but I can live with it.
The second hammer guy looks… cool to be honest. Yes the stone is off putting but not really “Oh my lord a stone under foot!” shock. Many models have this foot on something syndrome, so it can pass.
The figures are well rounded, in that there’s something for everyone to dislike. Why a bucket? Maybe if you turned it right side up and put a mop in her hand… She’s already dressed like a scrubber. We could call her Kim Woodburn. Already has the gloves, just needs bigger t-ta’s.
In defense of the model, however, at least she’s not wearing chainmail pasties.
Chibi is correct about my opinion of the second model. We’re seeing more and more anvil-on-a-stick these days. It looks silly.
